Mid Life Crisis Man Wrote:All we've been told is that he's feeling "stressed". Unless there's a serious diagnosis I can only think that the only thing wrong with him is that he doesn't appreciate the honour that has been bestowed on him.

Take it easy, old chap. You're being a little unreasonable.
It's a recurrence of a "stress-related illness" which is the same as a mental illness in my book. If he's having these difficulties, I applaud him for admitting it. Best that he gets home now and allows a replacement to bed in while there's still some time.
He's an experienced international cricketer. It's not a case of getting cold feet. He's not well. Let's cut him some slack.
